ADAM BEN MAURICE POIRIER It is with great sadness that the family of Adam Poirier announces his accidental passing on March 3, 2004 at the age of 19. Adam will be deeply missed by his loving parents Maurice and Esther Poirier of Mitchell; his siblings, Jennifer (Glen) Stark of Calgary, Kevin Poirier of Winnipeg (ManChi Lau of Hong Kong), Jillian (Alan) Harder of Steinbach, Erica (Mark) Quiring and nephew Anthony Quiring of Steinbach, his grandparents, Nettie Hiebert of Steinbach, Omar and Margueritte Poirier of Otterburne; as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Adam was predeceased by his grandfather Ben Hiebert in 1980. Adam was born on November 21, 1984 in Reston, MB and lived in Virden, and moved with his family to Mitchell, MB in 1986. He was baptized upon the confession of his faith on November 2, 1997 at Full Gospel Chapel in Steinbach. Adam, the youngest of five children, was home schooled till grade 8 and then attended the Steinbach Christian High School for grades 9 through 12 which he completed in June of 2003. He worked full time nights at Bake World in Steinbach and was also taking a course at Steinbach Regional High School. Adam will always be remembered as a caring young man who had a heart for other people, particularly kids. He went out of his way to make new students at school feel welcome. His positive smiling nature always lit up any room he entered. At work, he was considered reliable and a hard worker who got along well with his coworkers. When Adam was around you could be sure that you would receive one of his many big bear hugs that he always gave so freely. Adam was a kind, caring, loving son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend who will be very sadly and deeply missed. Donations may be made in memory of Adam to the Steinbach Helping Hands or to the Winnipeg Harvest as this concern was very close to his heart. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, March 9 at 2:30 p.m. at the Evangelical Mennonite Church, 422 Main St. in Steinbach. Arrangements entrusted to Birchwood Funeral Chapel.
